Shower Swap require RCD install?

[Midwest]

Just saying e.g. scenario, if supply is PME (can't be arsed with modern descriptive) 16mm tails and 6mm bonding, no sign of thermal damage etc, nice shiny RCD in CU, 'customer you need to upgrade your bonding'; 'how much, your having a laugh, I just want my shower replaced, cos the smell's putting the dog off'.

What do you do?

That would only be considered a C3, so would be complient.

Apart from the fact that this thread is not discussing EICRs, if an observation warrants a C3 code then it is not compliant.
C3 is the code given when an observation is not immediately nor potentially dangerous, but does not comply with the regulations and if it was changed to meet the regulations it would improve the safety of the installation.
